CHRISTMAS TREE


And so.....there it stood, the most magical tree in the neighbourhood. A ten foot scotch pine, meticulously arranged with bright silver tinsel, vintage glass balls and soft blue lights encased in angel hair.It was mesmerizing!
"You should be sleeping, it's almost midnight", my mother said - "we can't sleep, we're too excited", we replied.
That Christmas and every Christmas that followed, we fell asleep in front of the tree surrounded by the spirit of Christmas and the wonderful smell of fresh pine. While we slept, Santa;):) came and disappeared without a sound....ah yes...there was music playing, it sounded like snow falling......  
 HAPPY HOLIDAYS...ENJOY:)

My Little Muse

Above are images of my niece taken with my iPhone. She is beautiful, creative, very spontaneous and always ready for the camera. At the age of four, she became fascinated with fashion. Our little fashion consultant has been developing her own style and kindly offering wardrobe advice ever since :) My niece is a constant source of inspiration and a reminder of pristine childhood creativity, innocence and wonder.

Welcome to my Blog

As a custom Jewellery designer and television broadcast stylist, it is crucial for me to have vast streams of information from the worlds of fashion, design, architecture, art and travel at my disposal. I draw upon media research, interesting people and places as well as my everyday environment for inspiration. Inspiration is a very powerful tool - it can fill us with exalting emotion, it arouses our senses, it stimulates our energies... and drives us to create!

"  The best way to predict the future... is to create it  "

This blog is a chronicle of my exploration of creativity... the things that awaken my senses and the things that move me to design.

I have always believed that the process of sharing ideas with others can illuminate and inspire us. Along the way, it is my hope others will share their inspiring stories of creation with me as well.

Welcome to my world.
